Study Notes
Insight Learning
- Insight learning is the sudden understanding of the relation between a problem and a solution.
- It is a type of learning and problem solving through sudden understanding rather than through trial and error.
Wolfgang Kohler's Experiment
- Kohler's experiment involved a chimpanzee named Sultan, a banana bunch hanging on the ceiling, and a short stick and a long stick.
- Sultan initially tried to reach the fruit with the short stick but failed, and then suddenly used the short stick to pull in the longer stick, and then used the two sticks to reach the fruit.
- This action displayed Sultan's cognition.
Factors Affecting Insight Learning
- Experience
- Intelligence
- Learning situation
- Initial effort
- Repetition and generalization
Creating Conditions for Insight Learning
- Encouraging learners to try out new ideas
- Using techniques to promote creative thinking
- Reassuring learners that failing a task doesn't make them a failure
- Evaluating what went wrong
- Keeping on trying to find the solution
- Allowing students not to be bound by too much emphasis on covering content
Attributes of Insight Learning
- Insight occurs suddenly
- Insight alters perception
- Insight changes the perception
- Past experience is important in insight learning
- Age, intelligence, and learning situation influence insight learning
- Insight learning is related to associative learning
- Understanding and maturity also affect insight
- The presence of necessary pieces for the solution affects the speed of perception
- Insight is relative to the intellectual degree
- Insight learning is closely related to an organism's capacity to learn
- Involves the "I have found it" feeling (Eureka!)
Discovery Learning
- Discovery learning is an approach to education where students learn from their interests, experiences, and exploration.
- It is an effective teaching technique that encourages engagement and learning.
Types of Discovery Learning
- Pure discovery learning, where students learn with little to no assistance from a teacher.
